Devoted
to paper arts, art stamping, and lettering arts, Somerset Studio®
was created for the crafter and home-based designer looking for new
techniques, challenging projects, and inspirational ideas to elevate
their work to the next level of artistic design. With its rich photography
and high-quality production, Somerset Studio has been
called a "visual feast for the eyes" and has been credited
for setting new standards in the arts and crafts industry.
Our
readers craft with a wide range of paper arts and mixed media products.
Rubber stampers who combine their stamping with calligraphy techniques,
papercrafters who incorporate collage and decoupage into their work,
or calligraphers who make handmade artist books and journals are keen
to try out the newest products, latest tools and distinctive materials
featured in each issue.

Studio readers not only love the magazine, they keep their
back issues to read and reread. It is a "must-have resource"
in their personal libraries that they continue to reference months
and even years later.
In
every issue we offer readers a variety of how-to projects using paper
arts (collage, assemblage, papermaking, book arts), rubber stamping,
lettering arts, and much more. Our editorial departments include:
Artist Portfolio–an
introduction to a particular artist and body of work.
The Business
of Art–a lesson on the business of marketing arts and crafts.
In the Artist's
Hands–art tools and materials explained and demonstrated.
With One
Palette–an artist's exercise in his/her favorite color.
"We
have a small company and a limited advertising budget. I have found
that advertising with Somerset Studio has been the best
thing I could do for the growth of my business. The response has always
been phenomenal and, to date, no other venue even comes close to providing
the exposure, and most importantly the response, like Somerset
Studio does."

"PSX stands for designs that will not only inspire but also
"wow" people, and Somerset Studio is the number
one 'OH WOW!' magazine in stamp collage art."

VP Creative, PSX
"Ichiyo
Art Center has advertised in Somerset Studio from its
premier issue. The ads have helped build our business from the very
beginning. We always know when an issue comes out because of the increased
volume of mail and telephone calls from readers. We are delighted and
appreciate Somerset Studio!"
